Have a relaxing day...

TGIF!

It's been a while since I've inked up one of the lovely Girl stamps from Felicity Jane. Sadly, they've been out of the stamp and kit world for quite some time but I still love these fun and fashionable girls. In fact, I've still got a handful on my wish list that I'm trying to track down on the second hand market because I suffer from full set syndrome... LOL!  Back to today's card, I inked up Kate Girl, in her fun summer apparel and paired her with a shop stamp from Art Impressions for the background. I imagine she is one vacation in some tropical paradise enjoying an afternoon of shopping and sight seeing. I colored in the sea by hand and played with the perspective so that it feels like this village is up on a hill overlooking the port below. I gotta say, it's always fun to live vicariously through the stories I create on my cards, LOL!  ;)

Toodles!

TGIF my friends!

It's been a while but I inked up one of the pretty Girl stamps from Felicity Jane yesterday. I'm still bummed that they stopped making their stamps and kits a couple years back and that I still have a few of their Girl stamps missing from my collection that I really want to track down somehow. But in the meantime, it felt good to ink up Bailey Girl who is blowing kisses and create a Valentine's Day card with her. I paired Bailey with the Sketchy Corner Backdrop from Stamping Bella to give the scene an urban flair with lots of rosy pinks and warm colors. :)

Alrighty, I'm off. Have a good one!

Endless summer vibes...

Good morning!

I finally had a chance to play with some new stamps that have been hanging out on my desk for a few days and I was really pleased with how well these two came together. This month's Girl stamp from Felicity Jane is called Kayla and she is definitely sporting a casual beachy look so I paired her with this great Beach Scene  background from Whimsy Stamps. I gotta say, I'm kind of addicted to these Felicity Jane/Whimsy mash-ups, they just seem like a match made in stampy heaven. I can imagine Kayla making her way back to her summer rental after a long, refreshing walk along the shore line. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and it was just what I needed to finish off this sweet, summer card.  :)

Alrighty, I'm off. Have a good one my friends!

Birthday Girl...

Hello again!

I've got another quick card to share today and this time I inked up the newest Girl stamp from Felicity Jane. They changed things up this month and released a "big head" style Girl that coordinates with the Mabel collection and she is a real sweetie. Rather than color a background in for her I decided to use a lacey looking die cut and create a pretty sequin filled shaker card for Mabel Girl. :)

Time for me to scoot... thanks for stopping by!

cardstock- My Favorite Things and Copic X-Press It

Spread the joy around you...

Good morning!

Last month I shared a card using one of the lovely Girl stamps from Felicity Jane and afterwards I reached out about a buy/sell group, looking for some of the older Girl stamps to add to my collection. I totally lucked out and was able to cross a bunch off my list including this fabulous Holly Girl! There was no way I could wait 'til next Christmas to get her on a card so as soon as I had some free time I inked Holly up and paired her with the Winter Days background from Penny Black. I also used the new Double Stitched mini slimline die that I just got from MFT. What can I say... I'm kinda loving these little gals on the mini slimlines, LOL!

Ok, gotta get moving, I hope your week is off to a great start!

Merry Everything...

Good morning!

I've been a fan of the lovely Girl stamps from Felicity Jane for awhile now and even though I am diligent about collecting the new one each month I rarely find time to get them on cards. So this is me doing my part to continue working towards my goal of getting more of my stamp stash onto cards. Bella Girl is from this year's Christmas kit and when I paired her with the Snow Road background stamp from Whimsy Stamps I knew it was a perfect match. The background stamp was just wide enough for a mini slimline card and by masking Bella and coloring the road in to extend past the gate I was able to make her feel right at home here. I love how it looks like she is getting ready to decorate that red fence behind her.  :)

Alrighty, I've got to run... thanks for stopping by!

I miss your face...

Hello there!

I'm a big fan of the lovely Girl stamps from Felicity Jane and collect a new one every month. Unfortunately, as I discussed in a previous post, they are some of the stamps that I rarely find time to actually ink up. So this is me still working towards my goal of getting more of my stamp stash onto cards. Krystal Girl is actually my newest Felicity Jane stamp as she just released at the beginning of the month so getting her colored up in the same month is a big improvement, LOL! I paired her with the Whimsy Stamps Winter Woods background which gave her the perfect home to live in, plus it's another stamp finally getting some love so win/win.  :)

With a friend...

Good morning!

The lovely Girl stamps from Felicity Jane were calling to me again just begging to be inked up and who was I to deny them? After a quick debate I settled on miss Rebekah because I liked her casual attire and figured she would pair up quite nicely with some of the new Art Impressions watercolor sets that I recently added to my collection. Once I put Rebekah with the large shop and the wrought iron tables and chairs she looked to be waiting to meet a friend for a Sunday brunch date. Nothing too fancy, just good food with a good friend and time spent catching up on the past week's goings ons. Not much beats that if you ask me. ;)

Toodles!

A lovely day...

Hey there!

So I recently stumbled across a new-to-me company called, Felicity Jane, and each month they release a new scrapbooking/card making kit named after a girl. That girl is also available as a stamp and as soon as I saw them I knew I wanted them all! I got the ones I could but I'm kinda bummed there were a lot of sold out or discontinued ones that I guess I will have to try and hunt down through the secondary market. Anywho... the reason why they struck such a cord with me is that they take me back to my childhood days and one of THE BEST Christmas presents that I ever got. It was called Fashion Plates and it had hard plastic pieces of various heads, torsos and legs that you could mix and match together then place a sheet of paper over and rub a black crayon across to create your own unique fashion girl to then color. Oh man, I spent hours and hours creating and coloring with that thing and these pretty gals totally remind me of my beloved Fashion Plates. Now I want to spend hours and hours coloring these stamps, I guess some things never really change LOL!
The first girl to get inked up was Megan because she looked very spring like with her basket of flowers and pretty day dress. I paired her with the Summer Cottage background stamp from Whimsy Stamps and I gotta say, it is a match made in stampy heaven. Doesn't Megan look right at home on that garden path? I did have to extend the background scene down to the bottom of the card but that was easy as all I had to do was color in more grass and stone path, otherwise having that stamp made for a very quick and easy background, which is always awesome! I don't know about you but I would certainly like to visit this idyllic cottage on a sunny spring day. :)

Alrighty, I'm off. Have a good one my friends!
